Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent the discoloration, improve the storage stability and stably preserve the subject compound such as an oral therapeutic agent for diabetes by maintaining acarbose or an acarbose-containing pharmaceutical preparation in an atmosphere substantially free of oxygen. SOLUTION: Acarbose 0-4,6-dideoxy-4-[[(1S,4R,5S,6S)-4,5,6- trihydroxy-3-(hydroxymethyl)-2-cyclohexen-1-yl]amino]-α-D- glucopyranosyl-(1→4)-0-α-D-glucopyranosyl-(1→4)-D-glucopyranose} or an acarbose-containing pharmaceutical preparation is hermetically sealed in a moisture-resistant container. The resultant moisture-resistant container containing the pharmaceutical preparation therein, together with a disoxidizer, is further housed in a substantially gas-impermeable container and maintained in an atmosphere substantially free of oxygen to thereby stably preserve the acarbose or acarbose-containing pharmaceutical preparation, capable of inhibiting activities of an α-amylase, etc., delaying the digestion and absorption of a glucide and suppressing a rise in postprandial blood sugar and useful as an oral therapeutic agent, etc., for diabetes.

It is known that acarbose is highly hygroscopic, and that the water content greatly affects the storage stability of acarbose or acarbose-containing preparations. For example, Japanese Patent Publication No. Hei 7-39340 discloses that when the water content of acarbose-containing tablets exceeds about 6% by weight, the temperature increases to 60%.
It is described that the content of acarbose decreases during storage for 6 weeks at ℃, resulting in discoloration. Further, "Medical and Pharmacy, Vol. 32, No. 3, pp. 597-601 (September, 1994) states that tablets containing acarbose can be treated at 20 ° C., 75% humidity,
As a result of storage at 30 ° C and 90% humidity for 4 weeks, there is no change in the component content, but tablet weight increase, hardness decrease and appearance change (white tablet changes from pale yellow to pale brown) Has been reported.

[0005] For this reason, conventionally, it is necessary to keep acarbose or acarbose-containing preparations in a dry state when storing them. For example, in the case of tablets, a film is generally used in PTP packaging made of PVC (polyvinyl chloride) which is widely used. CPP (polypropylene) with lower moisture permeability as a material for PTP packaging because tablets discolor (change from white to pale yellow) during storage due to the effect of moisture in the permeating air and do not withstand long-term storage And the like, and measures such as further sealing and packaging the same with an aluminum laminated film are taken. However, even with such strict moisture-resistant packaging, the tablets may still be slightly discolored during storage, which may impair the commercial value of the tablets. Was struggling.

The present inventor has conducted extensive studies on a method capable of completely preventing discoloration of acarbose or acarbose-containing preparation during storage and maintaining the quality of acarbose stably for a long period of time. When acarbose or an acarbose-containing preparation is kept in a moisture-resistant condition and in an atmosphere substantially free of oxygen, discoloration of the acarbose or the acarbose-containing preparation can be completely prevented, and the storage stability of acarbose is significantly improved. And completed the present invention.

The simplest method of substantially removing oxygen from the air in the moisture-resistant container is a method in which a deoxidizer is placed in the container and the container is sealed. The oxygen scavenger used for removing oxygen may be any of conventionally known inorganic (iron powder, sulfite, etc.) and organic (catechol, ascorbic acid, unsaturated chain hydrocarbon polymer, etc.). However, it is also possible to use the ones of the type described in [Functional Packaging Practical Encyclopedia] (Fuji Techno System Co., Ltd., issued on August 1, 1994)]
Those capable of absorbing oxygen even under low humidity are preferred. The shape of the oxygen scavenger is, for example, powdery, granular, massive,
It may be in the form of a sheet or the like, or may be in the form of a sheet or a film in which the oxygen scavenger composition is dispersed in a thermoplastic resin. In addition, the oxygen absorber can be used by covering and wrapping a gas-permeable material, for example, in the form of a small bag packed with a gas-permeable material, a sheet coated or laminated with a gas-permeable material, or the like.

On the other hand, as described above, acarbose is hygroscopic and absorbs water, and changes over time. Therefore, acarbose bulk powder and acarbose-containing preparations, such as tablets, granules, powders, etc., themselves substantially absorb water. It is of course desirable not to contain such water (water content is about 6% by weight or less, especially about 5% by weight or less). It is also important to keep in a dry atmosphere with a relative humidity of 20% or less, preferably 10% or less.

[0012] Such a dry atmosphere is, for example, in the above-described gas-impermeable moisture-resistant container together with a deoxidizer.
The container can be formed by putting a desiccant and sealing the container. Examples of the desiccant that can be used include phosphorus pentoxide, calcium chloride, silica gel, calcium oxide, and the like, with silica gel being preferred. Silica gel is commercially available in the form of granules, beads, and tablets, and any of them can be used.

Example 4 In a low humidity booth at 20 ° C. and a relative humidity of 45%, 700 g of acarbose, 420 g of crystalline cellulose, 3.5 g of light anhydrous silicic acid and 3.5 g of water were placed in a drum hope mixer (made by Ikeda Kikai Sangyo Co., Ltd.). 760 g of corn starch dried to an amount of 6% or less was added and mixed for 10 minutes, and then 7 g of magnesium stearate was added and mixed for 5 minutes. This was tableted using a rotary tableting machine (Collect 19K, manufactured by Kikusui Seisakusho) so as to have a diameter of φ7 mm and 135 mg / tablet.
About 10,000 tablets containing 50 mg of acarbose were obtained.
